Chinese visitors to a notorious village street in Hubei province were recently met with a shocking scene.
With no municipal waste disposal service whatsoever, and no initiative on the part of residents, the garbage is simply dumped on the side of the street, abutting a river (itself already polluted).
However, dense clouds of flies soon form, so someone sets fire to the refuse to drive them off.
This causes the rubbish to burn slowly for days, spreading a disgusting miasma of smoke from burning filth and plastic throughout the area, which happens to be used by children on their way to school and students on their way to university.
After the rubbish is burnt off, fresh rubbish is dumped on top and the cycle repeats.
This “waste management” approach has apparently been used for many years, with no end in sight.

You first.
Stop listening to nosey Klatoo.
Well, what should we do with those mess ??? Burn em ??? Bury em ??? Throw em into the ocean ??? Put em on a rocket and send it to the sun ??? Or we just let em rot there ???
Okay, let me tell you the best way to take care of trash,that is get rid off the main source: human.
they didn't learn after the first time...?
I'm suprised that there is not a body laying around in all the grabage. It a great way to hide a dead body.
CHINA IS WINRAR!
Wow, I got watery eyes by just watching the smoke from my monitor screen.
Guy in pic4 is attempting to use his magic,lol.
i got to link to this site every time someone talks about China as a first world country and not developing world.
China is neither.
i see worn panties in there...
God bless comunism
there are countries much worse than China
Sankakucomplex just enjoyes dissing China, don't get the wrong idea [if you're not Chinese, just another ignorant westerner]
However it is indeed true that Japan and South Korea are much better in economy and cleansiness than China
And here I thought Africa and the Middle East ere the eternal assholes of the world. Looks like Asia reais proudly clinging to its roots as a third world nation overpopulated with dirt squatting savages, despite economic success. Fail! Not enough nukes in the world to flush this toilet.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xmr-fCCoIgw <--- Another example of china quality portraying their fur trade and how they skin animals alive... Be warned. It's pretty graphic.
Dear lord what a travesty those poor-
oh wait, they're just chinese...
in THAT case:
lol china
What? master race? For real?? BBBUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUAHAHAHHAHAHAHHA kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk !!!!!!!
This is why why humans need to migrate off of this disgusting planet to a new one. If only we had the technology to reach a planet 20 light years away. With our current speed 22,000 miles per hour. It would take us umm about 660,000 years to reach the nearest earth like planet. Earth is doomed. Hopefully there is a more intelligent humanoid race out there in the universe to superceed us after earth's humans go extinct.
Bah WHY CAN'T WE HAVE THE SUPER TECHNOLOGY TO GET OFF THIS STINKING PLANET!
Blargh... the sight of it makes me want to throw my damn garbage there.
LOL @ first guy face expression
They better wearing NBC mask
China u did it again!
soo cool!!! I want to live in China
Never fear, The Incinerator's here! Your odorless waste disposal superhiro! Da-laa da-laaa! Jan ja-jaaaaan!
lool tell me , how is replacing communism with a federal republic going to help this?
i love how most of you guys always drag politics into this kind of shit.
if you cared so much why dont you guys just join the government, ran for president, and invade china and change it yourselves?
Indeed. It's because of capitalism that these problems exist in the first place. In a purely socialist society, which is possible only in theory, this type of shit wouldn't happen. Believe it or not, the current Chinese government does fight political and corporate corruption through strict regulations and monitoring policies, but the sheer number of people in the country makes it highly difficult. If you swap the government for a more western-style democracy, issues like these would get worse before they improve.
Even more idiotic are people talking about people "killing the government". And then what? Who's going to run things? What do you think would happen to the global economy? Rising up in anarchy has seldom led to positive improvements historically, and I don't see how it will work in a country like China. Of course, it's a better idea than the usual discriminatory remarks about "kill all Chinese" and "drop a nuke on China" comments here.
And let's be honest, people take these isolated tidbits of news about China to represent the country and its people as a whole. Granted, there ARE other places in China that are probably just as bad or worse, but if you actually tried, you'd find the opposite as well. Those who judge everything by a few examples are no better than the douche bag censorship advocates that think Japan is inhabited by rabid rapists and child molesters.
this... is... abominable.
where are the ecofaggots when you need them?!?!
ecofags are too busy with their heads up their arses trying to convince the world carbon dioxide is killing us. They're egotistical poseurs who think it's fashionable to pretend to care about the planet.
Burning trash is nothing new. They do this all over the world...except not so DIY style.
This is really shocking, this is really bad. It's like something out of an apocolyptic manga.. But this.. it's real. I just can't believe the chinese would allow themselves to fall this low. Where's their pride? And also thinking of apocolyptic manga.. Do you think Shirow was on the ball about the bacteria cloud in his original Dominion series? I mean from the looks of THIS.. I bet this is where it would originate...
God I hope not.
really? can they be anymore stupid?
geez....
god damn...
plastic everywhere... why burn...
In the province of Yunnan (where i come from) is a similar problem like this. The garbage arent recycled but only ditched on a hill far away from the City, which slides into the nearby, already very polluted sea.
10 Years before Beijing gave the local government nearly 1.2 billion Yuan for the modernisation of the garbage system by ordering them to buy 100 modern, german build garbage-trucks.
But the shit is, that, even with the trucks, the recycling factories didnt match the german trucks which renders the whole project useless.
Also, out of 100, only 30 trucks where bought and sitting somewhere rusting away, while the rest of the money was spend for parties and send to oversea accounts by the corrupt local functionals.
After some time the central government found out about this crime and persecuted these people, but some got awy and pledged for political asylum in the west, which was successful, becaue they where INDEED persecuted by dem evul commie government (and propably celebrated as anti-communist heroes by their western hosts).
But those who were caught, got their deserved 7.62x39mm high-speed lead treatment directly in the back of their head.
Now, with a more competent and less corrupted governour in charge, things are slowly sorting themselves out. Of course the pollution wont reduce untill 2018, but at least we're optimistic...
TL:DR:
China needs no Democracy or Freedom, these things bring nothing but only more chaos.
China needs the fucking INQUISITION, killing all corruptors, fucking their children, torturing their families and impaling their burning corpes infront of the masses to show everyone how much corruption pays off.
looks fairly right to me, i actually enjoyed china alot when i was there :)
Why are people so interested in China?
You are all racists.
"Miasma" is a good word. It should be used more often.
Anyway, this is an awful situation. I feel bad for them. What makes me especially nervous is that some of the material you might find in the waste piles is not exactly the safest thing to be setting ablaze (like certain plastics, styrofoam, and such..) To have people be walking by that sort of thing every day...ahh.. Worrisome.
LOL CHINA
For some reason I had this absurd notion in my mind that the denizens of Sankaku Complex would be more vicariously politically inclined.
Despite objections, the province pictured is a representation of a very small city in China. No, it's clearly not a tiny rural farming village but when you consider the sheer size of other cities in China it's not hard to realise that euro-centric definitions of 'small' do not apply in China.
Furthermore, this is no reason to attack the Chinese populous, nor express an un-empathic dissent towards the Chinese government on behalf of the Chinese people. The last decades have seen an amazing progression towards legitimate liberty in China, Private ownership is now permitted and - although conditional - the Chinese people all maintain basic human rights. Due to the amount of people in China it is hard to incite political action amongst the uneducated classes [the majority] in China, instead, it is the duty of the 'enlightened' or 'intellectual' Chinese to become advocates for the rural and less educated people. This works reasonably well and exemplifies altruistic values that one would never see in Western societies rooted in judeao-christian foundations.
With no aid from the totalitarian singular political party, it's a shame that things like these trash pileups occur, but it is by no means an excuse to attack the Chinese people, especially given that most people here are sitting in on real furniture in front of pricey computers, living in countries that try to tell other countries like China and India they're not allowed to have adequate power sources because the rich white world is scared of carbon dioxide.
+1
You could hide a dead body in there and nobody would not notice.
yeah gimmie moar news about BURMA or CAMBODIA
but really, he takes this article from a japanese news site - what else can you expect? Bad blood will always exist
heh but things will change
my country got many vietnamese working as builder.they r also dirty like this.they just dump the garbage at the back of the slump that they live in
wow, and i thought some places in my country were the worst
Does Sankaku have anything good to report about China? Not that China doesn't have its share of the bad, but when a site consistently chooses to report only stories that paint China in a negative light, one can only wonder what the intentions of the site owner(s) are. We all know that poverty is widespread in China's rural areas, just as it is in most countries in Asia, so what's the big fucking deal to see something that's probably expected of a poor area?
Judging from other readers' comments, it's pretty obvious what articles like this can and are supposed to achieve. Sinophobic, much?
That's what I also think. Come on. Watch Slumdog Millionaire and you'd see circumstances similar to this.
If this site discusses things like Byousoku ripoff, fine... But, nude girls taking exams to prevent cheating? What next? The Tiananmen incident?
Reporters report about negative things in hopes of spreading awareness and eventually getting proper measure taken to help the situation(at least that is what they're supposed to do).
Remember the naked lolis living in their own trash?
People actually helped them in the end.A good deed by the media even though it portrays a negative image of China as a filth infested country.
Remember the stupid people who stole bricks from buildings and died when it collapsed?
People now know that you're not supposed to do that.A good message to the community of brick thieves about karma.
I'm not sure of the reason behind Artefact's love for Chinese style things,but I can see the silver lining behind these stories(besides having a good long laugh).
Stupid people will continue to do stupid things.
Stupid people ignore common-sense advice/warnings, such as:
* "Don't steal bricks from buildings, the building may collapse on you."
* "Don't steal metal from live electric or steam systems, because you will be electrocuted or scalded."
* "Do not rock the vending machine to get free product, the vending machine is heavy and probably will fall over on you and crush you to death."
Stupid people do stupid things.
"It can't be helped."
Well, that's true, except Sankaku isn't quite your average news corporation. We're not CNN, Fox or BBC, and I doubt the shit we read about here will lead us to help some poor little girl out or to eliminate waste products in China. More than anything, Sankaku has probably earned itself the reputation of "the place to read lol things about China."
This is no fucking China blog. If you want to learn what China is really like, read some books about it.
Expecting Sankaku Complex to give an accurate description of China is like expecting K-ON to give an accurate description of the Japanese youth.
i really appreciate this comment seriously people need to learn the real China
sankaku just gives shit news about China all the time
aw man, you dont have to bring up K-on
SHHH! Don't smash the Weeaboo's and Japanophiles dreams! Ignorance is bliss to them haha.
But seriously, anyone who's dumb enough to take every negative report/article as the one and only truth shows how uneducated and ignorant they are. Then again these are the same people who probably believes Fox News is the best.
Artefact, you will do well to not troll your own readers. Just because others express a view that's different from yours, no matter how ridiculous or stupid it sounds, does not give you a carte blanche to call us "idiot". Attack the opinion, not the person. For a seasoned writer such as yourself, I would've thought you might appreciate that little difference.
You're missing the point anyway if you're bringing up Japan's teachers/prostitutes as an example. Those are rape cases and sexual crimes, and every country has crime, so that goes without saying. I never said anything about this site's coverage of China's own demented slave owners and child rapists, so why would you even bring that up?
how about Japan constructing Tetsujin n Gundam for no reason and Americans suing God. There's no news like that from China amirite?
most probably the same reason why there's no garbage or bricks issue coming from Japan or America or Europe
I don't know about Japan or America, but did you scroll further down to see what another reader posted about Italy?
http://www.reuters.com/article/inDepthNews/idUSL228156220070522
Another idiot ethnic Chinese who selectively ignores the fact that 90% of the substantial amount of Japanese/US/European news here concentrates on similar topics?
Where is your whining when we publish yet another article about Japan's demented teachers and schoolgirl prostitutes?
You can leave your persecution complex at the door - man is a shocking beast, and as long as people are interested in his demented antics we shall report them.
If they are that uneducated and ignorant and only visit Sankakucomplex and not any other news website, well, they deserve Darwin Award anyway. So, we should not bother about them , desho?
But that's the problem. A lot of people are exactly just that: uneducated and ignorant, because most of them buy the news that they're fed unquestioningly, without the slightest bit of brain power and the smallest shred of intelligence to think outside the box. Selective reporting and propaganda cater precisely to the ignorant mass. Take note that no one can claim this kind of reporting is "propaganda" because the validity and truth of the article is disputed. It's not disputed and it's common knowledge that everything Artefact reports about China is true (to an extent): trash dumps on the road, unsanitary products, dodgy buildings, etc. The pertinent question is: why is China singled out for bad publicity and criticism when other countries' problems are either under-reported or swept under the rug entirely? If I were some ignorant moron who didn't know any better, I'd think China is some filth-infested hellhole without anything good to offer. Fact of the matter is, I've been to China and for the most part, it's a whole lot better than what the media wants us to think.
TL:DR coming up...
Well China itself has been a threat to major players in the world in various areas i.e. economy, industrialisation, militrary power. So it's no surprise that there is lots of negative press on China from said powerhouses. Propaganda itself is the use of manipulation with media to control the masses. One of the misunderstanding of the use propaganda is that all of it has to be a lie. In fact it doesn't. It's merely the distortion of it. Another words the facts could be there, but it's manipulated to control people i.e 'Terrorists attacked US. Therefore all terrorists are muslims and evil. We must bring justice upon them before they strike us with something worse!' See truth with distortion mixed with emotive use of lanuage equals easily baited ignorant masses. Take into account that some of the sources from sites are Anti-China here. So of course there will be some negative spin on some of the articles.
As for the under-reporting of other countries. It's because said countries isn't as obvious and open about the negative actions. China openly does negative actions in comparison like most other 3rd world countries. Others i.e UK/US keep all of it under wraps under 'Justice' and 'Morals' also with 'Positive Redirection' hiding behind facades. Meaning by redirecting blame to other easier target countries, making their own country not stigmatised as much e.g. 'We have pollution, but China is worse!'. That's why. People are easily molded to put their attention elsewhere. Look at the whole US vs UK Health Care. As soon as US critisized it, UK is all of a sudden a pathetic excuse for a Health Care System. Yet in surveys and such, there is much more unsatisfactory support and care in the US Health Cares than the UK. China just so happens to be the worlds largest scapegoat. I can guarantee you should India followsuit with China, (hitting a industrialisation stage, accepting foreign factories etc...) it too will be a country under ridicule as a scapegoat. Hell Japan media is the scapegoat for rape incidents for some.
There is no such thing as an unbiased news. However the level of bias used is the one to look out for.
Correction: If you want to learn about China, go visit China (I know that's probably a big one for anyone who thinks "who the fuck would want to go there?") and see for yourself what it's like, and don't just confine yourself to one area. Visit the urban and rural places, the rich and poor, and then you'll see the country for its best and its worst. Truth is, every country has their good and bad side, and it's not really helping anyone to encourage the notion that one particular country is only bad, never good.
Considering the population size. You'd have to be blind not to notice a single bad event, never mind the good. People themselves love the 'Train Wreck' scenario and thus would focus on the bad rather than good more often. Humans are pretty pathetic beings in that we are more likely to enjoy the misfortune of others than the good fortune. Leading to arrogance, pride and elitism.
Whether there is more good than bad in anything, one should not completely ignore the opposite like it doesn't exist. I mean look here at this site. Even Japan has it's bad side to those who kiss it's ass as if nothing wrong ever happens there.
Don't think anyone was thinking China is just bad.. I mean chinese dumplings.. the mankind's greatest creation..
the thing is China's good and the bad.. are so far apart from each other its shocking..
and the sad thing is that there is far more that is bad, then there is good..
Because laughing at another country's shortcomings is fun?
Well... I think it's quite ok. There are reports on Japan's shit as well. Besides, isn't it usually the bad stuff that we can laugh about that catches our eye? If you found out someone in your school was a scholar, compared to when you find out someone pooped in their pants, which one would you pay more attention to? IMO, I don't give a damn about scholars. Bunch of them are just foreign talent (zero skill), in my country at least.
If people all over the world like this, soon alien will recognize this planet as planet 'garbage'...
why this site seems to like discussing this kind of stuffs about china? don't you know they are capable of almost anything?
Don't be misunderstood my friend. This site like to discuss anything that 'awesome'...
Remember that, 'AWESOME"!!
Yep... Capable of anything, hence the above report. Of course, there are people out there like me who pretty much have no interest in China, but I still acknowledge the fact that China has quite a number of accomplishments.
But why is it that you pick any guy off the street and he can't give a recount of the wonders of China? Well, for one, China is a bloody selfish country. By keeping lots of things like technology to themselves, it's only natural that the west would reign over China.
The west shows off (sometimes too much, but hey...) and China keeps everything secret. Obviously the world would recognise the west to be the creator of the many "anything" you claim that China is capable of, since they heard/saw the west did it first.
in case you dont realize.. showing off is what caused the cold war
They should be like the more developed and civilized US where we dump all of our crap out at sea.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lt-MivNezes
They need landfills ASAP!
there are only bad news form china...
Like USA having billions of dollars debt to China
oh china you fail at every attempt
Except owning the most of USA`s foreugn debt.
bad typing, sorry. It should read "foreign debt"
... takes me back to reading about smoke stacks in 19'th century Britain...
It's just a phase to go through, most of China is better than this by now.
(racist asses)
The question is whether the planet can take another billion people moving up the prosperity scale to environmental efficiency.
I'd say China has a shot as it has reforested more trees than Brazil has chopped down the last decade.
If you want to find real inefficiency or laziness, China is one of the last places to look - the culture there is geared towards money (too much emphasis I think, personally).
There are simply too many people there.
It's all about the money. China needs moar of it. Why the fuck would any country be thought of as backward or filthy if they were - no pun intended - filthy rich?
These are the perfect conditions for bubonic plague to develop.
Hope you catch it too.
HN1N1 for you too.
Bubonic plague is not something to be joke about.
It can even happen in texas.
It is still prevalent among some species of groundsquirrels in the US.
just call it swine flu. political correctness does not belong here.
who said he was joking?
That is a nice thing to say.
The last time that the black death ruled the world, half of the world population is dead in Europe and Asia.
Diseases has no boundaries and doesnot distinguish between race or religion.
If you wish dead to others, may dead visit you too.
We are not immune to dead.
lol at race n religion
Are you a moron or something?
what? nobodys wishing death to anybody, just saying how atrocious the whole thing is, and nobody said anything regarding race, religion or whatever you faggot. now, i dont about bubonic plague, but i bet some deadly shit is brewing right there.
also, wishing me to die because you think im whishing someone to die??
forget the fact this is dead wrong, isnt it just a tad hypocritical?
Imagine the smell from burnt garbage...
Its sad. Development and consumption outpacing the system that is capable of menage it?
more like lazy chinese
if noticed they HAD no system to mange it
the "fuck off" should be after "Hey! Hey, don't do that!"
fixed
@Anonymous 18:20 and magi:
You're both right. Some of this "problem" may be due to individuals not caring about the detrimental impact of the current non-system of dealing with this; some of it may be due to their not having see alternatives.
Let's pretend a Western Man goes over there, and starts a western-style garbage dump, and see what happens . . .
Western Man (speaking to a local guy he sees dumping his garbage at the side of the road): Hey! Hey, don't do that!
Local Guy: Don't do what?
WM: Don't dump your garbage there.
LG: Why not?
WM: Because it's a biological and physical health hazard to you, your family, and everyone else in town.
LG: So, what do you think I should do?
WM: I'm glad you asked. Bring it to my new garbage dump, pay me 10 cents a load, and dump your load there. My new garbage dump is 20 miles down the road that-a-way, well clear of the town.
LG: What will you do with the garbage I dump at your new garbage dump?
WM: I'll burn what I can, and sort-of bury the rest with my shiny new diesel-powered bulldozer. But, mostly the unburnable stuff just sits out in the open.
LG: Wait. Let me understand this. You want ME to haul my garbage an extra 20 miles, and pay YOU so I can dump it there?
WM: Yes.
LG: And then, you'll burn it, like we're doing right here?
WM: Yes.
LG: And when you burn it, it will be all nasty and stinky and health-hazardy, just like it is here? And the remainder will attract flies, rats, and other nuisances, just as it does right here alongside the road?
WM: Yes.
LG: No deal.
WM: But, think of the children!
LG: As I see it, you're just moving the problem elsewhere, AND I have to work to bring my trash an extra 20 miles, and I have to come BACK (empty trip) an extra 20 miles, AND I have to pay you. Fuck off, man.
WM: But... but... but...
Stupid fat pushy loud aggressive smelly bigger dicked Americans (Western Man) fail to appreciate the simple elegance of Asian custom and tradition.
Please accept my apology for our ignorance. Where should I throw this bag of garbage?
I can haz your lolis?
well a lot of Asian countries have this problem, people who set fire to trash heaps...for shame.
You also have to remember that most countries go through this sort of stage... like when most of Eastern Europe had big cities, none of which had sewage systems. Poop party in the streets, every day.
Until those damn rats with those damn fleas came and ruined everyone's fun.
..yes, FIVE HUNDRED YEARS AGO.
more like about a 100 years or so
I think we're due for another episode of that about now...
It's unavoidable, given the state of modern packaging.
